Van Hagar's biggest mistake IMO.

I think the biggest trangression is Dave Gilmour maintaining the Pink Floyd name.

Roger Waters got to keep the inflatable pigs.

When Pink Floyd toured after he left, they had to put testicles on their pigs.

Roger has laughed about that in several interviews

"Van Hagar's biggest mistake "?

Not going down in a plane crash prior to recording a single note with hagar. Then, they'd have some credibility & respect left.

Well I don't know that I agree 100%... I mean, all Van Hagar albums were number 1 and platinum.... So there was a pretty large fan base.... I know alot of that fan base was infact old VH fans, but it obviously didn't make the majority or we wouldn't have this site. lol

Well, the albums in the six-pack may not have gone to number 1 but they outsold Van Hagar at least 2 to 1. Van Halen I and 1984 both reached Diamond status. 5150 was Van Hagar's biggest seller over time and it hasn't cracked 7 million. The others are way lower. Besides, there are more Roth records to enjoy.

In Australia it ain't Van Halen without David Lee Roth baybeeeeee !!

Hagar albums sold more worldwide than Roth ones. Official site numbers are for US sales. And that means nothing, some BeachBoys have probably sold more than all VH albums combined.

What about title change, with three original members in, and both bros wearing the same second name as the band title,
there was no point in altering it. If the band would've been named 'Mammoth' or 'Van Roth' or 'Diamond Van Halen' - then it would've been fair, but the fact they left the title as it was prevended me from naming two bands when asked about what my favourite one is .

Van Halen's biggest mistake is not firing their shit for brains drummer back in 1985.

Van Halens BIGGEST mistake to date...is for not finding some way possible to work with David Lee Roth again! We, the fans, have been denied the raw power and kick ass rock from this great band! It's been 20 damn years! There is bad blood yes, but for christ sakes, your ALL 50+, act like adults and get it done already!


...Sorry, had to vent!

That is complete, total and utter BULLSHIT.

Don't think you can pull stuff like that out of your ass here and get away with it, because you can't, because it isn't remotely true.

He's new here RH. It might take a while to de-program him. Good guy though.
Billboard and MANY other publications have documented the fact that DAVE ERA VAN HALEN has outsold van hagar by a 3 to 1 ratio. Van HAlen 1 & 1984 have both sold 10 million+. DAVE wins hands down.
